NCAA football, 2013-14

[Ed Anger]

I felt bad for Mack.

Hey check out what Duke did to Miami.

Check out Texas Tech and Baylor!

That 2nd half of Georgia at Auburn.  Wow.  Just wow.

I think I kinda want Baylor to win out because....it's Baylor.

That 2nd half of Georgia at Auburn.  Wow.  Just wow.

That made me a little sick to my stomach.  Could this season be any more nightmarish for Georgia?

[Valmy]

Also, Valmy, looks like Garrett Gilbert had another big game too.  Good for him.

I have thought about Garrett a couple times this year.  He was this big time spread offense QB we brought in to replace Colt McCoy and run a spread offense.  Then as soon as he gets his chance we switch to this power running game thing.  Is it any wonder he was such a failure and then went to a spread team and finds success?  Probably Mack Brown's fault there, not scheming to his recruit's strengths.

[MadBurgerMaker]

I think June Jones still rolls with the run and shoot up at SMU, but either way it's a spread-y pass happy O that plays to Gilberts strengths, so like you I'm not particularly surprised by his success.  It took him a year to get unfucked by a real coach, then this year he's doing quite well. 

E:  Are there any other Run and Shoot offenses left out there?

Yeah, it's been nightmare season of ruined expectations;  on the other hand, Auburn's having one hell of a season.  I really thought Georgia had this one in the bag at the end, though--even though I honestly didn't think Murray got in on that TD, but the video was inconclusive.  Auburn needed this one:  if they lost it, they'd be going into bowl season with back-to-back ranked losses after next week's inevitable date with losing destiny.

"They find a way to win," said Gus Malzahn, Auburn's first-year coach. "This team has the `it' factor. That's just the bottom line."
He had simple plans for celebration.
"This is definitely a Waffle House night," Malzahn said.

Now that's a coach I could play for.

'SC looks like they will upset Cardinals making sure no Pac-12 in last BCS game.

Can someone give me an Idiot's Guide to the run and shoot?

1 running back, 4 wr/slotbacks (think Darren Sproles of New Orleans)
pre snap one of the WR/SB would go in motion trying to create mismatch with defense.
Receivers are expected to change their route running after seeing what the Defender is doing.
if only 5 defenders in the box handoff to RB.

Houston Cougars in late 80's ran it, as did the Warren Moon Oilers of 80's.

Buddy Ryan used to call it the "Chuck and Duck".  Pretty much summed it up.

[Berkut]

1-3 is 60% likely, the only gimme is Wazzu.

And I was even wrong about this! Sorry berkie.

Yeah, 0-4, here we come. Fire RR!

Yeah, I didn't really have a dog in that fight, but even I felt a bit bad for Georgia there at the end, after coming back the way they did.  OTOH, I have to agree with Seedy that I don't think Murray actually got to the goal line before being down.
